Answer:

The pH will be very High.

Explanation:

The electron chain is responsible for generating the Proton Motive Force, which pumps H+ (protons) into the inter membrane space, to lower the pH.Therefore if Cyanide inhibits the ETC, the PMF will be stopped.

Hydrogen ions will not be pumped into the inter-membrane space,to lower the pH  of the medium for increase acidity. Hence, electrochemical gradient from the diffusion of H+ back into the matrix will not  be generated,

Energy for ATP synthesis by ATPase Enzyme will not be produced. Therefore ATP synthesis will stop.

The _____ theory of dreaming proposes that dreaming occurs when the cerebral cortex synthesizes neural signals generated from ac
jeka94

Answer:

The correct answer is- activation synthesis theory

Explanation:

The activation-synthesis theory tells us about the role of neuron in dream production during sleep. It was first proposed in 1977 by Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley which was psychiatrists at Harvard University.

This theory says that in REM sleep some neurons in the lower brains for example in the brain stem randomly activates due to change in neural signals and dream occurs when the cerebral cortex tries to interpret the meaning of these neuron signal changes.  

So the correct answer to this question is- activation-synthesis theory.

The given statement is true.  

The majority of the chronic diseases are not accredited to a single cause, some of the poor lifestyle choices like overuse of alcohol, smoking, lack of physical activity, poor diet, and insufficient relief of chronic stress are the major contributors in the advancement and development of preventable chronic ailments, like type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and many kinds of cancer.
